Knicks owner James Dolan and Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry were named as defendants in a civil suit against Harvey Weinstein, alleging they knew about the movie producer's "pattern and practice of predatory sexual conduct toward women."

According to the lawsuit filed Wednesday at Manhattan Federal Court and obtained by ESPN, Dolan was on the Weinstein Company's Board of Directors from mid-2015 to June 2016 and Lasry was a member of the board from mid-2016 to October 2017 before leaving in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment against Weinstein.

The suit, filed by six women who were allegedly assaulted by Weinstein, also accused a number of his other associates for being complicit with his behavior and subsequent cover-ups.

"We just received the complaint and are currently reviewing," a spokesperson for Dolan told ESPN. "We will not have a comment until that is complete. We can state that Mr. Dolan is confident that he acted appropriately in all matters relating to his time on the Weinstein board."

The six plaintiffs are seeking a jury trial and a class action status.
